- Palm Deira registered 3,364 unit and villa transactions worth AED 11,395,703,928.41.

Palm Deira’s rent profile sits within a high-value activity base
Palm Deira’s headline rent figure stands at AED 250,000, alongside an 18.95 rental yield, giving the area a clear rent-and-yield marker within the broader units-and-villas market. On the activity side, it logged 3,364 transactions and AED 11,395,703,928.41 in value, which places rent discussion against a sizeable flow of unit and villa transactions rather than against a small or thinly traded base. That combination matters because it frames Palm Deira as part of the same transaction ecosystem that is driving the wider Dubai market, even if the rent metric itself is shown as a level rather than a month-by-month series.
Market activity remains concentrated at the top of the table
Across Dubai’s units-and-villas market, Business Bay led with 5,989 transactions and AED 20,035,482,942 in value, while Palm Jumeirah followed with 1,184 transactions and AED 15,998,882,288. That gap gives useful context for Palm Deira: its 3,364 transactions and AED 11,395,703,928.41 sit in a market where activity and capital are heavily concentrated in a few areas, rather than spread evenly across the city. The same pattern appears at project level, where THE MERIVA COLLECTION posted 231 transactions and AED 943,406,268 in value, with Sobha Central next on 171 transactions.

Monthly transactions eased into April after a stronger winter stretch
The six-month transaction trend peaked at 21,727 in December 2025 after 21,575 in November, then held above 19,000 in January and February before dropping to 15,613 in March and 15,282 in April 2026. Transaction value followed a similar pattern, rising to AED 52,497,524,283 in February before easing to AED 37,795,472,186 in March and AED 35,658,905,579.89 in April 2026. For rent-focused reading, that broader monthly backdrop matters because it shows the market moving through a softer end to the period after a stronger winter run, without attributing the change to any single cause.
Methodology and caveats
This plan uses the supplied units-and-villas scope and the verified area relation for Palm Deira. Rent value and rental yield are reported as provided for Palm Deira, while the monthly trend section is used to place the period in market context rather than to infer a direct driver of rent movement.
